Saturation vs Supersaturation - What's the difference?
saturation | supersaturation | Related terms |
the act of saturating or the process of being saturated
(physics) the condition in which, after a sufficient increase in a causal force, no further increase in the resultant effect is possible; e.g. the state of a ferromagnetic material that cannot be further magnetized
(chemistry) the state of a saturated solution
(chemistry) the state of an organic compound that has no double or triple bonds
(meteorology) the state of the atmosphere when it is saturated with water vapour; 100% humidity
(art) the intensity or vividness of a colour
intense bombing of a military target with the aim of destroying it
the flooding of a market with all of a product that can be sold
(music) an effect on the sound of an electric guitar, used primarily in heavy metal music
The condition at which a component of the system has reached its maximum traffic-handling capacity, i.e. one erlang per circuit.
The point at which the output of a linear device, such as a linear amplifier, deviates significantly from being a linear function of the input when the input signal is increased.
(physics) The condition of a solution being more highly concentrated than is normally possible
(physics) the condition of a vapour having a higher saturation vapour pressure than is normally possible
(physiology) The condition of a solution of gases in a tissue having a higher concentration in terms of summ of partial pressures than the ambient pressure
Saturation is a related term of supersaturation.
In physics|lang=en terms the difference between saturation and supersaturation
is that saturation is (physics) the condition in which, after a sufficient increase in a causal force, no further increase in the resultant effect is possible; eg the state of a ferromagnetic material that cannot be further magnetized while supersaturation is (physics) the condition of a vapour having a higher saturation vapour pressure than is normally possible.As nouns the difference between saturation and supersaturation
is that saturation is the act of saturating or the process of being saturated while supersaturation is (physics) the condition of a solution being more highly concentrated than is normally possible.saturation
